Sex Therapy
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that addresses mental health issues and/ or emotional concerns affecting a person’s sexual function, drive, and/or desire for intimacy. These issues are typically explored with the help of a licensed sex therapist. Some people seek help individually, while others may pursue sex therapy with a romantic partner.
This specialized form of therapy was developed in order to help people address concerns related to sexual intimacy. Thus, while it may not always be easy to bring up the topic of sexual concerns, they are certainly not uncommon.
Adequate and comprehensive sex counseling can have a positive impact on the psychological and sexual health of a person or couple in therapy, even after only a short period of time. Still, the effectiveness of the therapy ultimately depends on the willingness of the person in therapy to accept the concepts presented to them during a session.
Most experts agree that sex therapy—like other modes of therapy—is most helpful when all parties honestly consider the concerns raised and make a considered, collaborative (when applicable) effort to work through them.

Sheena K. Glover
Psychologist, PsyD
Changes in sexual desire can be alarming for couples, especially when struggling with issues such as low libido and difficulty communicating about sexual desires. This can leave them feeling lonely and concerned about the future of their relationship. Despite efforts to find solutions through various resources, many find themselves at an impasse, leading to communication breakdowns and relationship strain. At Intimacy in Progress, we foster a sex-positive environment and encourage open conversations about sexual experiences within each couple. Through empathetic therapy, we help couples navigate intimacy issues, communication barriers, and sexual challenges, empowering them to strengthen their connection and rediscover fulfillment in their relationship.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Speaking openly about sexual habits, desires, and relationships can be awkward for patients. However, I believe that open dialogue about these topics are important and normal in the therapeutic space. I do my best to make these topics as painless and natural to speak about as possible. Having a graduate certificate in LGBT Health and Policy guides many of my interventions and thoughts about sex and relationships. All I ask is that my patients come with open minds and a willingness to discuss these sometimes challenging topics. We live in a culture that is deeply oppressed around topics of sex, desires, and fetishes. It is my goal to change this by allowing patients to come as they are and speak openly to me about their feelings. Open relationships, polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy have become hot-button topics, but can be deeply misunderstood, and are often viewed as taboo. I understand that not all relationships look the same, and that not all people want the same things. Families look different, and that is something to be celebrated. I am actively staying abreast of the most current research on these topics so that I can help you to navigate their stigma while maintaining the happy, healthy bonds you have with your partners.
